The ATG installation provides two workflows, which are described in this chapter:
Production-Only (default) supports deployment to a single target.
Staging/Production supports deployment to two targets: first a staging target, then a production target.
Only one of these is available, depending on how you assemble the asset management server application. In order to use the staging/production workflow, the EAR file that you deploy on the asset management server must be assembled with the -layer staging
option.
Workflow target sites
The workflows provided by the ATG installation initially define one or two target sites with the following identifiers:
Production
is the sole target defined in the Production-Only workflow.Staging
andProduction
targets are defined in the Staging/Production workflow.
In order to use a workflow with the predefined target site identifiers, you must define the deployment topology with site names that correspond exactly to these identifiers. For more information on defining target sites, see Define the Deployment Topology.
